Candidate for
Board Member; Winton Woods City School District

Additional money from the State is not really expected. The current Board has set strict spending goals and found cost cuts over the last three years (out of necessity), but done so in an effort to improve educational delivery. We are looking at better approaches with unused assets (buildings and land) to generate funds. However, a levy in 2008 is unavoidable. An all out effort will be made to minimize it's request.

Maintaining "AYP" and attaining a rating of "Excellent" must be achieved. Our students deserve it for their success and voters expect in return for their financial support.

Improving the "culture" of the school is defined by all involved feeling that the schools are moving in the right direction. Changing perceptions requires a change in the way we educate.
